Lynch spoke to KTVU-TV about growing up in gang-infested North Oakland (you’ll forgive him if he’s still a Raiders fan), his Fam 1st Family Foundation, and the fallout from his July 2012 DUI arrest, a matter that he recently resolved. After seven NFL seasons — already a longer than average career for an NFL running back — he also confessed he’s thinking about life after football. “I’ve got a lot of hidden gems in my pocket,” he told reporter Amber Lee. “When I’m done with ball, I won’t be done with life.”

He said he plans on finishing his college degree in social welfare and expanding his foundation.
